 Afghanistan civilians have been killed since Oct. 7, 2001. \n\n·         
 In Palestine, over 1,960 Palestinian have been killed since Sept. 28, 2000. 
 \n\n·         In Iraq, over 1.5 million Iraqis, mainly children have been 
 killed by the economic sanctions imposed by the USA since March 1991. 
 \n\n·         In Guatemala, as a result of CIA-sponsored coup in 1954 and 
 death squads trained at School of the Americas (SOA), 6 million indigenous 
 Mayan Indians have no social or economic justice, over 150,000 Guatemalans 
 have been killed or disappeared, tens-of-thousands have been forced to flee 
 to Mexico, 1 million have been displaced inside the country and more than 
 440 Indian villages have been destroyed. \n\n·         In the United 
 States of America, 780 people have been executed since 1976 when the death 
 penalty was reinstated in the USA. The USA has over 2,000,000 people 
 incarcerated in the prison industrial complex, more than half are people of 
 color and  most of these people committed non-violent crimes. Since 
 9/11/01, the police have killed over 144 people. Here in the United States, 
 homelessness is at an all-time high and people without homes are 
 criminalized. Since 9/11, disappeared people here in the US have grown. 
 Administrative detentions, denying people access to their attorney's, 
 preventing attorneys from knowing the charges and whereabouts of their 
 clients, and refusing families requests to know where their loved ones are 
 have become commonplace. The exact number of people being held is still 
 unknown, since the government refuses to divulge that information. If the 
 truth be told, this country was founded on the genocide of the indigenous 
 people, theft of the land, and the slavery of Africans. Tens of Millions of 
 indigenous people of this land have been killed by American regimes.
